This just in, politicians are liars!
"It is common sense that five-seven handguns should be banned because the weapon exists only to kill law enforcement officers,†said Rep. Engel.
The five-seven, a practically-LEO only gun, is made only to kill LEO's? hmmm, spurious logic there.
“If you support police officers, than you should support my legislation to ban this cop-killer weapon."
So if I don't support LEO's, it follows that I hate his legislation, I guess that's one point I agree with.
"We owe it to those brave men and women to help ensure their bullet-proof vests cannot be pierced by readily available five-seven handguns.â€
Readily available? Please, these things don't exactly grow on trees and I doubt 1000 are even in civilian hands in the US.
"There is no reason that traditional gun control opponents and advocates in the House would not support my legislation to ban this weapon designed and marketed to kill cops.â€
If I was FN herstal I'd sue this jerk for slander. "designed and marketed to kill cops", thats right folks, you heard it hear first. I was watching cable, then an FN ad came on, "hey kids want to kill cops? Then buy this specially designed pistol the five-seven" What a load of nonsense.
I love politicians, they are always honest and truthful, never grubbing to get votes or lying to restrict freedoms.
